Is it October yet!? Seriously after the first week of July hockey is pretty much dead until fall. Really wish Buffalo had a pro baseball team. The Bisons are fun but you just cant get into it like a pro sport

And a hat-tip to DD's Bloody Mary recipe. It was the hit of the trip and proved a solid transition back to beers on many a morning !

Any idea if tickets for the prospect game will be assigned seating if General admission? Tickets don't go on sale until tomorrow. The dates of these games are great for an out of towner to couple with a Bills game (Indy).

I was back last weekend and with a busy work summer/fall I doubt I can afford another weekend off. But May look into the bills season opener.

Fair warning, tickets for that game were sold out before they were even available to the general public and the resale prices for them are insane right now.

Is mighty really that good?

I like Tacos and everything but I have always thought MT was maybe the most overhyped place in Buffalo

Rivet was acquired from San Jose.

Wasn't Weber also drafted between the periods reviewed?

Regier unfortunately was always better building/patching the roster by making small trades rather than having success drafting.

Stu Barnes for Matthew Barnaby

Rhett Warrener for Mike Wilson.

Daniel Briere for Chris Gratton.

the lack of moves by the yankees is going to be their downfall

I wouldn't be surprised if they miss the playoffs now

Fantastic Four was ok

I am a fan of their comics and Dr Doom is my favorite bad guy

Started out with a lot of promise and then it seemed like they decided to race to the ending to make it 90 minutes instead of doing it right with another 15 minutes in length


my 2 cents

They fudged up with the Johnny Blaze casting IMO.

I get they why they'd want to but I mean come on really?

Just make a Luke Cage or Black Panther movie and call it a day.

I also never liked the Nick Fury change either.

They use grade D beef.

That right there is all one should need to know as a reason to avoid it as much as possible.
